Hey there! Classic public matches aren't the best choice for your first steps in CS 1.6 because the long respawn times will slow down your skill development. It's better for newbies to start with CSDM (Deathmatch) or GunGame, where you respawn instantly and can shoot continuously. To quickly find low-ping servers, go to https://csget.me/ and download the stable client. The CSGet portal is an excellent resource with a built-in server search for any mode and helpful tips for beginners. After playing Deathmatch for a few days, you'll get a good sense of ballistics and recoil control. Would you rather train against real players in CSDM or start by playing it safe with bots?
